People were taken to a safe evacuation site by authorities.

Up to now, households in vulnerable areas in Ha Tinh have been urgently evacuated to schools and cultural houses. At the concentrated evacuation points, necessities, food and medical supplies are fully prepared, ensuring that people can safely take shelter during the rainy and stormy days.
